I have had my CCW for several months and am looking for recommendations for "BOOKS" to read that deal with:
(1) How to personally defend yourself, and
(2) Things to be aware of when carrying a personal firearm and finding yourself in a situation when personal protection needs to be used.
Thanks for your suggestions.

The Concealed Handgun Manual by Chris Bird
Anything by Massad Ayoob, especially In The Gravest Extreme.
Principles of Personal Defense, by the late Colonel Jeff Cooper.
No library is complete without this book.

When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

'In the gravest extreme', by Massad Ayoob. An oldie but a goody. This man is still alive, and one can access some of his articles online.

No problem. Me too.
Without drifting too far OT - does anyone know where there is a compendium (on line or otherwise) of all of Ayoob's "post shooting breakdowns," where he goes through every detail of the shooting? These were always very entertaining - I recall one where he did the shoot-out at the OK Corral, but described it in modern terms ("vehicle" instead of "horse") until the very end...It was a great read...
A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

Agreed...this one is a must read.

I'd start with the on line books in my signature.
Shooting to Live 1942
Except for improvements made in the weapon position in half hip, gets the body-mind going in the right direction.... these guys were masters of the real thing and fine teachers and innovators. Far ahead of their time.
Kill or Get Killed 1976-1984
More opague but good stuff in the handgun section.
Puttin stuff in the brain ain't good enough ... your body's got to know it too.
